Hello all! New member here! My husband and I just got some Cuckoo Maran pullets last October, hoping for 5 hens and 1 roo (of course!) and ended up with 5 roos and 1 hen. New to chickens as an adult, though as a kid it was one of my main chores.
Here's a couple of pics from last month. (Yes, sunny! We are down in the southern part of the US.) Long story short, we now have 4 hens, and still have the 5 roos. Building more coops and shortly each of the roos will have their own flock. And yes, right now averaging 3 to 4 eggs a day with the four hens. We are both enjoying spending time with the new flock, and I have to say, I am enjoying the roos immensely.
